EuroMPI is a very nice conference for the specialized sub-field MPI, namely the Message Passing Interface. I’m a long-term attendee since I’m working much on MPI and also standardization. We had a little more than 100 attendees this year in Madrid and the organization was just outstanding!<\/p>\n

We were listening to 25 paper talks and five invited talks around MPI. For example Jesper Traeff, who discussed how to generalize datatypes towards collective operations:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Or Rajeev Thakur, who explained how we get to Exascale and that MPI is essentially ready:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Besides the many great talks, we also had some fun, like the city walking tour organized by the conference<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

the evening reception, a very nice networking event<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

or more networking in the Retiro park<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

followed by the traditional dinner.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On the last day, SPCL’s Timo Schneider presented our award-winning paper<\/a> on runtime compilation for MPI datatypes<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

with a provocative start (there were many vendors in the room \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

but an agreeing end.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The award ceremony followed right after the talk.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The conference was later closed by the announcement of next year, when EuroMPI will move to Japan (for the first time outside of Europe).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After all, a very nice conference! Kudos to the organizers.<\/p>\n

The one weird thing about Madrid though … I got hit in the face by a random woman in the subway on my way back. Looks like she claimed I had stolen her seat (not sure why\/how that happened and many other seats were empty) but she didn’t speak English and kept swearing at me.
